  • Patent number: 9745737
    Abstract: An insulated building structure, in particular an insulated roof structure or a wall structure of a building, comprises at least one thermal insulation layer. At least one moisture-variable protective layer for the thermal insulation layer is provided on an outer side of the thermal insulation layer and on an inner side of the thermal insulation layer facing a building interior of the building. The protective layers each have a water vapor diffusion equivalent air layer thickness Sd. The water vapor diffusion equivalent air layer thicknesses Sd of the two protective layers deviate from each other by less than 20%, preferably less than 10%, in the range of a relative humidity from 0% to 25% and/or in the range of a relative humidity from 80% to 100%.

  • Publication number: 20170175385
    Abstract: A moisture-variable protective layer is to be used in particular for protecting a thermal insulating layer in insulated building structures, such as roof and/or wall structures of a building. The protective layer has a water vapor diffusion-dependent air layer thickness Sd that is dependent on the ambient humidity. The protective layer at least partly consists of and/or comprises a material that has a water vapor diffusion equivalent air layer thickness Sd of greater than 10 m at a relative humidity of the atmosphere surrounding the protective layer in the range from 0% to 25% and has a water vapor diffusion equivalent air layer thickness Sd of less than 0.4 m at a relative humidity of the atmosphere surrounding the protective layer in the range from 90% to 100%.

  • Patent number: 8808481
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a web (2) comprising at least one protective layer (11, 11a), at least one functional layer (13), and at least one reinforcement layer (14). The reinforcement layer (14) is provided with greater tear strength than the protective layer (11, 11a) while the reinforcement layer (14) is glued to the functional layer (13) or the protective layer (11, 11a). According to the inventive method, the functional layer (13) is welded together with at least one protective layer (11, 11a) on at least one side by means of heat lamination in order to produce a prelaminate (20), and the obtained prelaminate (20) is then glued to the reinforcement layer (14).

  • Patent number: 8535786
    Abstract: Represented and described is a sheet having at least one fastening section for the bonding of the sheet to a substrate or for bonding to a further sheet. In accordance with the invention the fastening section is coated partially with an adhesive and has at least two bonding regions formed by the adhesive coating, and adjacent bonding regions are separated from one another at least partly by at least one adhesive-free region of the fastening section.

  • Patent number: 7795530
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system (1) for conducting lightning currents and/or fault currents away from a roof area (2) and/or façade area of a building (3) to the ground (4). According to the invention, the system is equipped with at least one strip (5), which is laid in the roof area (2) and/or façade area of the building (3) and at least one potential compensation system for the building (3). The strip (5) comprises at least one electrically conductive layer for shielding electromagnetic radiation and the strip (5) is connected to the potential compensation system in such a way that lightning currents and/or fault currents can be conducted away via the strip (5) and the building potential to the ground (4).

  • Patent number: 7642948
    Abstract: A reflective layer for attenuating electromagnetic radiation, the layer comprising at least one reflective component, the latter being selected from the group containing the following substances: carbon particles or fibers, in particular carbon black and/or graphite and/or an electrically conductive graphite compound, metal particles and/or fibers, in particular copper, aluminum, steel, titanium and/or iron particles of fiber and metal alloy particles. The reflective layer is characterized in that it attenuates electromagnetic radiation in a 200Hz to 10 Ghz range by more than 10Db, that it is watertight and permeable to water vapor, in addition to being resistant to the elements and designed to produce a potential compensation. The invention also relates to a method for assembling the reflective layer.
